3000 Icons for Windows (WIN529)

Topics: icons, shareware, floppy, diskette, windows, win16, win31, win3.1, win31x, windows 3.1

Language: English

Item Size: 5.9M

This floppy by the shareware and public domain distributor "Explore The World of Software Inc." contains a large collection of Windows 3.1-era icons which are now very difficult to find online.

Note that this disk contains the icons as NE-format DLLs which are no longer supported by 64-bit Windows icon pickers. To use them on modern systems, you will need to extract them using a tool which does not depend on Windows for EXE-parsing, such as wrestool from the Linux icoutils package.

An example wrestool command would be wrestool -x --output=. -t14 *.DLL

Subject: Can't use the content of the file

I downloaded the unpacked .zip and tried with torrent but was unable to use the icons. when i try to select a dll from the "change icon" menu on windows, it tells me "the file doesn't contain any icons". help me i really like those vintage icons 🙇‍♂️
